Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups finely diced apples
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

GLAZE

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel apples and dice into very small chunks. Add apples to a mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Mix until apples are well coated. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix until well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together milk, egg and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Melt butter in a bowl and add to batter. Mix until butter is well incorporated.
  • Fold in diced apples until just combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop that holds about two tablespoons of batter, scoop apple fritter batter onto a prepared baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Arrange the batter so that the apple fritters can expand slightly during cooking.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops of the fritters are slightly brown and when a toothpick is inserted into the middle, comes out clean.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and teaspoon vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • When apple fritters have cooled, drizzle glaze over top of apple fritters.
  • Enjoy!
